Despite diligent campaigning on my part, my proposed successors all lost yesterday’s election. I will be Chairman of the Marshall County Economic Development Corporation (MCEDC) for another year. I have enjoyed the interaction in the position and feel I have learned a lot, but I had offered to step down. It is not an onerous position, but I often cannot devote the time to it that I think it warrants. My real job often gets in the way of my extracurricular activities! For better or worse, my peers on the board disagreed with my self-assessment.
My involvement in MCEDC serves multiple personal and business goals:
Regarding other board member updates, Roger Umbaugh was reappointed by Marshall County as their representative. Don Mahoney was reappointed by Argos as their representative and accepted another term as Treasurer. Bill Davis, Bremen’s representative, accepted another term as Vice Chairman.
I’m looking forward to another year of making a difference. As always, suggestions are welcome.
Because I can't say no, and because I generally believe in giving back to the community, I agreed to be on the Subdivision Review Committee for Marshall County. Plan Director, Ty Adley, wisely recognized that the proposed new sewer districts working their way through the County could result in an increase in requests for new subdivisions.
